Lovely well kept property 5 star.Had a fantastic time, central Cornwall location perfect for both coasts. Surrounding roads are very narrow adds to the charm.

Top notch peaceful stay.
Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a very peaceful location. It was a lovely touch to be left milk and a cream tea (scones, clotted cream & jam). Charles has just had an electric vehicle charger installed so it removed a tonne of stress for us to be able to charge my car whilst at the cottage. Overall, a fantastic stay. I cannot think of an area of improvement.

A beautifully converted barn in a very peaceful/private location. High quality comfortable bedding, an abundance of hot water, delicious home made scones with clotted cream on arrival. Friendly, welcoming hosts.

Lovely one bedroom barn conversion
We enjoyed staying at the property which was ideally placed for travel to both coasts in north Cornwall although the first few miles can be challenging if you're not used to narrow lanes/roads. Property itself was well maintained and well equipped for our needs and if we returned to this area of Cornwall we'd consider it again

Nice, relaxing cottage
Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage, traditional style with mod cons. Loved Ponk and Donk and the goats. The cottage is well located for North and South touristy stuff but the very narrow lanes are not for the faint-hearted. The wifi is quite slow but it won't spoil your stay when you come back to your calm retreat for a nice cold one from the fridge !

Comfy hideaway
The converted granary apartment Pekin is in a quiet location surrounded by trees and fields. The quality of all the furnishings is very high. The owners are on site and extremely helpful.

Lovely break
Lovely stay in a beautiful peaceful location. Beautifully presented and well equipped property and a very informative and useful pack within the property from the owners. We used the property merely to sleep and a base to explore and for me the property offered excellent value for money and would absolutely stay here again! (My only suggestion would be to improve outdoor area and seating to better enjoy the location) Overall a lovely place to stay and would recommend. Thanks guys x
